A major player in the social and solidarity economy, the French Red Cross manages a network of more than 600 establishments and services in the health, medico-social and training sectors. She is also at the head of 12 regional health and social training institutes.

In the same way as in the professions that it develops and implements in France, the French Red Cross internationally places all its missions in a sustainable humanitarian action plan. This results in an articulation of emergency, post-emergency, crisis exit and reconstruction activities aimed at maximum efficiency. The objective is to carry out actions with lasting effects and to allow populations to regain their complete autonomy.

Our association also wants to strengthen its presence and the promotion of its priority commitments within the International Movement.

By joining us, you will share our commitment and ethics and develop your skills.

Intervention and positioning of the CRF in Guinea:

The CRF has been present in Guinea since the start of the spread of the Ebola epidemic in April 2014, at the request of the Guinean Red Cross and the Guinean Ministry of Health. She contributed to the response to Ebola virus disease through the management of the Ebola Treatment Centers in Macenta and Forécariah. After this health emergency phase, the action of the French Red Cross, with financial support from the Canadian Red Cross, MAEDI and OFDA, turned to supporting the Ministry of Health to strengthen its capacities. to prevent any further resurgence of an epidemic of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in the prefectures of Forécariah, Coyah and Macenta, then towards the strengthening of the health system (RSS) in the prefecture of Macenta, in close collaboration with the Guinean Red Cross. As part of the 2018 — 2020 grant from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

The Guinean Red Cross (CRG)

The Guinean Red Cross (CRC) is one of the youngest National Societies in Africa. From its creation in 1984 to the present day, the CRG has participated in major humanitarian assistance operations which have given it solid experience. However, their scale and duration did not allow the CRG to capitalize on these operations and implement resource mobilization strategies to reduce its financial dependence, lay the foundations for sustainable development and ensure leadership during the international relief operations. Through its 2015 — 2020 Strategic Plan, it has defined 3 priority areas of action: organizational development, disaster management and risk reduction, and health and community care.
